Betulinic acid 是一种天然的五环三萜类化合物，为真核细胞拓扑异构酶 I (topoisomerase I) 的抑制剂，IC50 值为 5 μM，具有抗炎，抗疟疾，抗艾滋病和抗肿瘤等活性。
Betulinic acid is a eukaryotic topoisomerase I inhibitor, with an IC50 of 5 μM, and prevents topoisomerase I-DNA interaction[1]. Betulinic acid (10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 µM) significantly suppresses MDA-MB-231 cell viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner after treatment for 24 or 48 h. Betulinic acid (20, 40 µM) causes decrease in Bcl-2 expression of MDA-MB-231 cells. Betulinic acid also induces morphological changes of MDA-MB-231 cells at 20 µM, and leads to ultrastructure changes of MDA-MB-231 cells at 40 µM[2]. Betulinic acid shows anti-HIV activities, with an EC50 of 1.4 µM in acutely infected H9 lymphocytes[4].
Betulinic acid (10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly abrogates colon shortening, and reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid hydroperoxide levels in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Betulinic acid (30 mg/kg, p.o.) restores superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase activity and glutathione (GSH) content to control levels in DSS-induced colitis in mice. Betulinic acid (30 mg/kg, p.o.) also inhibits the DSS-induced increase in inflammatory markers. Betulinic acid (3, 10, 30 mg/kg, p.o.) suppresses acetic acid-induced writhing responses and mustard oil (MO)-induced visceral nociception in mice[3].
